Spring Web Services 2.0.0 M3 released

This is the third milestone release in the 2.0 release cycle. The most important new feature in this release is inclusion of a client-side Web service testing framework. This testing framework is very similar to EasyMock 2, offering a 'fluent' API for all you testing needs!

Great work again, everything seems to be working like a charm. Any chance you've got some more information on the testing/mocking you describe in this post? I can't seem to find information on the spring-ws reference page.

Thanks!

There is no documentation as of yet, as the API might still change in the milestone phase. We plan to write documentation when we enter the RC phase.

That said, you can get a good idea as to what is supported by looking at the various unit tests that come with the new testing module. Also, the fact that it's a fluent API means that you can basically ctrl-space your way through .

After hours of debugging Spring-ws code line-by-line to see how it works and get a simple web service working (Due to lack of documentation about new DefaultMethodEndpointAdapter and MethodArgumentResolver and PayloadMethodProcessor implementations and how to use different annotations, etc.), I have to admit it is an impressing piece of software.
Well Done guys!
Looking forward to the final release and updated documentation.
